2-342104-1

The 2-342104-1 is a ring connector terminal, a type of connector designed to terminate a wire or cable to a device. Ring connector terminals are heavily used in the automotive industry, as a way of quickly connecting wires and cables to a device without soldering, or crimping.

The 2-342104-1 is designed with a brass ring, and used copper or tin plated terminals, allowing for complete electrical conductivity. As such, it is ideal for use in automotive applications, such as alternator connections, starter connections, and power distribution. Additionally, it can be used in home wiring applications where the connections need to be easily disassembled and reassembled.

The 2-342104-1 has a slightly different working principle from other kinds of terminals. Unlike regular crimp terminals and soldered connections, the 2-342104-1 uses a simple compression method to create a reliable connection. First, the wire is placed through the brass ring and the terminal is tightened with a tool. This compresses the ring onto the wire and creates a secure connection.

The 2-342104-1 is also designed with a quick disconnect feature, which allows for easy reassembly. The terminal has a small tab on the end, which can be used to quickly remove the terminal from the wire. This makes it easy to reconfigure the electrical connection in a few simple steps.

The 2-342104-1 is a popular choice for automotive and home wiring applications because of its robust design, quick disconnect feature, and fast installation. It is designed to withstand high current and temperature, making it suitable for most automotive applications, and the quick disconnect feature makes it easy to reassemble and reconfigure electrical connections.
